IMPROVEMENT IN HEATlNG-STOVES.

S ecification forming part ofLetters Patent No. 153,602, dated July 28,1674; application filed May 15, 1574.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, DANIEL E. PARIS, of Troy, in the county ofltensselaer and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Heating Stove, of which the following is aspecification:

My invention relates to that class of stoves known as parlor-stoves; andthe special features of my invention consist of a combination in whichthe magazine, the oven, and the surmounting cookingchamber occupycentral positions in the stove, and in which the top chamber has freecommunication with the oven-fines; also, in combining with the magazinea removable fuel-holding section to form an extension of said magazinewhen the stove is used as a heater 5 and in the combination of arotating traversing rake or cleaner With the fire-pot and the grate,within a space between which the said rake operates, so as to clean andkeep free the lower end of the tire-pot and the grate by the horizontaltraversing action of the rake at the base of the lire-pot from one sidethereof to the other.

in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a view in perspectiveof a combined parlor-cook embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a similarview, showing the oven-door open to expose the fuel-hod, as an extensionof the magazine. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 4 is asimilar section taken through one set of the ascending and descendingflues. Fig. 5 represents a similar section of the stove from front toback. Figs. 6 and 7 represent views of the grate and its shaker Fig. 8,top and side views of the roller for cleaning the grate and lower partof the fire-pot of ashes and clinkers; Fig. 9, a horizontal sectionabove the ash-pan and fines surrounding it at the dotted line 00 w ofFig. 5. Fig. 10 represents a similar section taken above the grate atthe line :20 00 of Fig. 5. Fig. 11 represents a similar section takenthrough the firepot at the line 1 1 of Fig. 5. Fig. 12 represents asimilar section through the magazine at the line 2 2 of Fig. 5; Fig. 13,a similar view through the oven at the line 3 3 of Fi 5 Fig. 14, asimilar section taken through the top chamber at the line 4 4 of Fig. 5;Fig. 15, a view in perspective of the stove, showing the interior whenarranged for baking; Fig. 16, a View similar to a Chinese tower orpagoda-that is to say, tower upon tower, diminishing in area as theyapproach the top, flanked by hollow continuous bastion-flues, built inwith the towers at the four cornersgiving a symmetrical contour, welladapted for a combined parlor- 3 The fire-pot E is arranged between themagazine D and the ash-pan F, and the latter? is surrounded on threesides bya baseflue, Fig.

cook.

9, which communicates with the exit-flue M at the rear, and four cornerlines, 0 surrounding the firepot. D, which surrounds the magazine, andthe inner sides of the four corner flues 0, Fig. 12, have openings Finto the tire-pot chamber, and form descending flues therefrom, as shownin Figs. 4 and 12. The fire-pot and magazine have such relation to eachother as to leave a space, 6, between them, so that both open into thesurrounding space D, and from which ascending flues Q start by openingsto, Fig. 4., at the top of the magazine, and which ascending fluessurround the three sides of an oven, 0, located above the magazine. Theflues Q from the oven enter a top chamber, A. Fig. 3, at the four sides,and there form a junction with the exitpipe M, as shown in Fig. 5. Thistop chamber has an opening fitted with a swinging cover, B, and the topof the oven forms the bottom of the said top chamber. Closed vessels Amay be put within this chamber A, and the cover B turned on, as inFig.3, or vessels A may be suspended within said chamber by acollar=fiange, as in Fig. 15.. By this arrangement an open chamber isprovided above the oven, heated directly by the ascendin g fines. Thejunction of the exit-fines M and the top chamberA is provided with adamper, T, Fig. 5, by which to close such communication when desired, toturn the heat down under the fire-pot when the stove is to be used as aheater, and opened when the oven is to be used.

The top of the magazine D opens into the oven 0, and a cover, I), Fig.13, closes this The fire-pot opens into a space,

opening, to cut ofi' the communication with the magazine when using theoven for cooking, as in Fig. 15, with a short magazine.

As a heater, it is desirable to have a long magazine, and for thispurpose the magazine is made to open into the oven to receive aremovable feeder, (J ,.which forms a section or continuation of themagazine when in place, as in Figs. 3 and 5. This removable feeder isprovided with a removable slide, 0 at the bottom, fitted into ways sothat it can be drawn out to let the coal out into the maga zine.

The feeder serves, in effect, as a coal-hod, adapted to form the uppersection of the magazine within the oven-space, while its removalandoccupying its place with the cover 1) leaves the oven intact for cookinEach section or tower of the stove is heated uniformly, and the fire-potchamber is provided with mica windows, by which to illuminate the roomand control the draft of the stove. There is a space, 0, between thelower edge of the firepot E and the grate G, and within this space 0 theashes and clinkers collect. To clear the grate of these, and to keep thelower end of the tire-pot free, I combine therewith a cleaning-roller,H, Figs. 3, 5, and 8, provided with a series of collars, i, which fitbetween the grate-bars, and arranged to traverse the grate in contact,or nearly so, with the bottom of the fire-pot, and, raking the firebetween the two, out through the clinkers, and force them with the ashesthrough the grate. The collars i may form circular cutters orraking-points, as shown in Fig. 5. The raking movement of the armedroller H is effected by cog-pinions k, Fig. 8, 011 the ends of theroller, matching with cogged racks L on each side of the grate, andfixed in any suitable way on the sides of the stove. For this purposethe end I of the roller projects through an opening in the side of thestove to receive a crank, I, the turning of which carries the roller Hback and forth in a manner to rake the fire not only upon the grate, butwithin the firepot, and cut and pulverize the clinkers upon the grate,so that they fall through the openings thereof. The grate may be mountedupon pivots in any suitable manner that will allow it to have a rockingmovement without interfering with the action of the raking-roller; andfor this purpose one of the journals of the grate projects through anopening in the side of the stove at right angles to that of thetraversing armed roller.

The armsz' of the roller, fitting in between the ba s of the grate, holdthe former in place, so that it can be driven back and forth through theincandescent coals and cinders at the lower end of the fire-box, andfree it and the grate more thoroughly than could be effected by theshaking of the grate alone. The spaces between the bars continue to theedge of the rear side of the grate, as shown in Fi 6, to allow theroller to pass off the grate, so that the latter may be rocked anddumped when required.

I claim as my inventioni 1. The combination in a stove of a magazine andan oven with the cooking-chamber at the top, the latter having freecommunication with the corner and oven flues, and located centrally withthe magazine and oven, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the oven-fines, openin g directly into the firepotchamber, with the open corner flues 0 g, communicating with the oven andthe base-lines, substantially as described.

3. I11 combination with the magazine proper, depending from the bottomof the oven or chamber 0, the removable fuel-holding extension, providedwith a detachable bottom, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

4. The combination of the raking-roller 11 with the tire-pot and thegrate, whereby the bed of cinder-s and ashes maybe raked to clean andfree both the fire-pot and the grate.

5. The combination, with an open space, 0,

between the fire-pot and the grate, of an armed roller arranged to bethrust back and forth in said space from one side of the fire-pot andgrate to the other, substantially as described, for the purposespecified.

6. The combination of a raking-roller, having the relationdeseribed withthe fire-pot and grate,'with the cog-pinion It and the racks L in thesides of the stove, whereby the said roller is held in place between thefirc pot and grate, and caused to rcvolvewithits projections within thefire-pot and the grate-openings, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing l have hereunto set my hand this17th day of April, 1874.
